Here is my 3 in 1 Sumore SP2304. I found Sumore in Shanghai is the mfg of a lot of the lathes etc sold under other names like HF. I was able to talk them into importing just one to me directly. PITA! The gov/CBP does not make this easy...
Added very inexpensive DRO's ...just can't get my head around metric
The headstock raise/lower handle was designed by an idiot
I replaced it with a pwm controlled motor drive .. actually works well
enough to use as a down feed.
Added an auto disengage and auto shutoff on the feed
And there was NO fine feed on the mill spindle at all ! It was
just a glorified drill press handle. The solution (After I learned how to cut gears :>)
was suprisingly simple and works perfectly.
I've been using it for about four years now, and have no complaints..
held up well. to my surprise!!
